FAQ

Can I get a new PDF with the highlights embedded into the document?

Take a look at https://pdf-lib.js.org.

Wasn't this named react-pdf-annotator at some point?

Yes, but people from https://www.pdfannotator.com/ asked me to rename, since they have a trademark for PDF Annotator.

I'm trying the demo with my PDF and it is not loading!
